In 2002, Platinum Equity furthered its presence in the region with the acquisition of its first business based in Europe, a division of the Paris-based telecommunications provider Alcatel, which was later rebranded NextiraOne. Over a decade and many deals later, Platinum Equity is well established in Europe as a trusted transaction partner and proven business operator.

Platinum Equity has transacted with several companies based in Europe, including Hays plc., Philips, and TUI AG, and has acquired European divisions from non-European sellers including CBS Corporation, Nampak, Oshkosh, and Owens Corning.
